I'm not familiar with that line or series. You might as well start a new thread about it and help us out. Here's TD's thread about it (it got some other pics, I think): http://toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-265096-1-1.html thanks Treatment, i don't know anything about the series so i'd prob not make a thread i know nothin about but i'll keep an eye on this HMR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 So after much delay and an unfortunate trip to Houston my Hi-Metal Soltic finally arrived. I managed to get him out of the package, assembled, and posed. I must say that the non-Macross offerings in this line are quite impressive. He has a pleasing heft, and can be fantastic articulation. I love the 80's real robot aspect of this line. I know that we probably won't get any more Dougram mechs, but a man can dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I love the artwork, but it is odd that you can't see the toy. Sad to say that most of the Tamashii Web Exclusives releases such as the Soltic doesn't have front side window on their boxes. The good thing though is that some of the releases now have 'colored' boxes whereas years ago it only comes with monochromatic color.

easnoddy Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Been a long time on HMR Dougram. Main mech got 2 releases, soltic was a web exclusive. Is this line done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) Certainly a shame if it is, Dougram had lots of classic designs. I'm a much bigger fan of the Dougram designs than Xabungle. Edited August 29, 2018 by jenius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I'd love a Blockhead, Bushman, or any of the many other designs. I am grateful for the two they have done (they really are brilliant), but I doubt we'll see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easnoddy Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 This is unfortunate. Dougram designs are great (blockhead, bushman, iron foot, etc... plus three gunners). The Soltic should have have been a normal release with Korchima as a web exclusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treatment Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 Finally an update on the Dougram-line! saw from td earlier: http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-277266-1-1.html Don't see any pbandai/twe indicators, so regular release!

Corrinald Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) I am glad to see more Dougram figures coming. Hope to see the Ironfoot and Bigfoot down the line!

easnoddy Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Nice! I probably need to get a 2nd green roundfacer. I may nab 2 of these as well. Xabungle designs don't grab me at all. They're too super-robot-ish and not mecha-ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 The Green Soltic is fantastic. Far and away the best toy version of it, which is saying a lot. Wonder when the release/pre-order date is for the Blue one. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the photo @treatment posted above (quote here again below), the preorder date is this coming Feb 15 for a July 2019 release with a price tag of Y11880. And it's a Tamashii Web Exclusive item. So no PO madness.

technoblue Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I need new glasses. I completely missed the February 15 pre-order date the first time I looked at that image. But @treatment noted that the blue one is a regular release... So is it a regular pre-order or a TWE shop exclusive like the green one?

No exact time posted yet on the photo nor info on Tamashii website. But expect that it's either around 4pm or 7pm (JST), since those are usually the time when they put items for preorder.
